The problem with doing something like this is that the site owner will probably take it down within 24 hours.
However... if the site owner cannot see it. Well well well.. could be up for days.
Typically the first person to view the page will be the owner. They want to check everything looks alright. Would be interesting to see the results of something like this.
This would be so much more awesome if you could assign the class to a container div. Then on each page reload it would randomly add content - be it paragraphs, headers, imgs, lists, tables etc.
This would be a fantastic tool for testing templates against a wide variety of random content. When making a template for clients to use you can never be too sure what they are going to add so you do your best to style everything. Getting random content on each page load would really solidify this testing.
Adding a class to individual elements... I don't find this too useful.
You can now assign the class to a container div - you must still provide some empty tags to specify what kind of content you want.
For example, if you need a couple paragraphs of text, you can use `<article class="fixie"></article>`. If you need exactly 1 header followed by 3 paragraphs, you can use
```
<article class="fixie">
<h1></h1>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
</article>
```
I love this quote from The Pirate Bay blog, probably paraphrased from a proverb or something:
In this year of the storm, the winners will build
windmills and the losers will raise shelters.
The world will keep on turning and innovators will find ways around any problems raised by the current laws. Either that, or our governments will start getting overthrown again.
Personally I wouldn't want my son to be a patent troll, simply because this is an artifact of the modern world, which can change in the blink of an eye, leaving my son with no occupation. However, the constant truth is that people creating value have always earned enough money to keep them satisfied.
This happened to me 2 weeks ago. I put it down and walked away waiting to get reinspired. I am starting to get hankerings to pick it up and power through but not enough to go again quite yet. I know when motivation strikes I am 50% complete and I am a relatively short distance to the finish line.
I doubt it.. I brought this up on Skype forum and the thread was deleted 5 minutes later...
EDIT: I queried the deletion with a moderater. Was informed it had been moved to the forums admin area to be discussed at their next meeting. He said he agreed it looks like a serious problem so they are aware.
I wanted to see if i could find someone. Went onto twitch.tv. Picked a random stream. Got email. Looked up Skype id from email. Searched for skype id which gave me the IP and the small town where they currently reside.
Its worrying how easy this makes it to find someone.
My IP resolves to a location ~20 miles away. I don't see why having a Skype contact and knowing a 20 mile radius where they live is anything to worry about?
Most residential internet connections don't have any sort of DDOS protection, so privacy issues aside, at the very least you are open to a simple denial-of-service attack. This was a huge problem for the popular progamer "Destiny" in the Starcraft 2 community.
But is no different than just send them a link where you save their IP when they open it (and with little social engineering you can trick anyone into clicking a link)
Actually, it's very different because one can passively acquire contact info this way, as opposed to actively contacting each one. Not only is it faster than social-engineering each contact, it's more palatable to those who don't want to attempt such.
Sometimes you can get to the correct city in the US. Rarely can you get any further than that from an IP. In other countries you can only really be sure about the country.
This isn't really Yelp's fault. Sites like this always have fake reviews mingled in with those that are real. The solution?
Assume people with a 4-5 star review are competent. GET MULTIPLE QUOTES. Doesn't matter if they have 5*, if you feel something is off with them they you avoid.
You also will find out when a quote is too cheap/too expensive and reduce your risk to getting conned.
Don't blame the internets or Yelp. Blame youself for not doing due diligence.
Make 10B in 8 months and single handedly pull Ireland out of recession... wow...
Its almost funny until you read how despite needing funding he expects investors to pay for hotel and presumably travel so he can pitch. You then have the NDA on top of that.
I wonder what the idea is... probably something new and down to earth. Like a thimble with an edge so people with short / no fingernails can open a can of drink and avoid potential injury. I would buy that!
Not to mention, an NDA that all employees must sign.
Yup, I sure am worried about our custodial staff running off and undercutting your genius idea out from under you. I bet they're in cahoots with the lady at the front desk.
We had a post the other day about how important a name is. Here is another example of the name not being important. I mean what has "team treehouse" got to do with learning or web development?
To the article I am glad to see them get funding. I use the service and think its great.
I think a 4 day work week can definitely work, especially with motivation and guarding against burn out. Main issue is that the rest of the world works 5 days a week which in many sectors can create problems.
In my social circle of non-tech people everyone uses their phones for texting and calls. Thats about it. Most have smart phones, a few play games or use their phone as an mp3 player. That really is about it.
I only use texting, calls and google maps for when i am lost. Tablets i understand but this "mobile revolution" I don't understand. I find using the web / webby apps is painful on mobiles due to poor internet speeds.
Many of my friends still don't get twitter, let alone checking in at various locations.
I would agree that Google and Facebook need to get on top of mobile but from where i am at least there isn't a massive hurry.

Most people in my social circle, and the students I teach, are now using their mobile phone as their preferred Web access device. I just noticed this coming in over the last 18 months or so.
I gave out the wolfram alpha web address last week when teaching basic algebra and graph work to some teenagers. Out came the mobiles, and we had graphs being drawn with different parameters and compared.
On the train on the way into College in the mornings, I'm usually the only one with a netbook or notebook (paper). Most of the others have their phones out.
I think the change is happening, but, as you say, not immediately.
Likewise, I've seen similar in my environment. I think the difference is that mobile will enlarge the market, not displace full function devices - it's not CD killing the cassette tape (as the original article author seems to imply). Systems catering for mobile consumption will see increased use, but that doesn't mean decreased use for those not.
The change is presenting as a line continuing to blur between computing devices (laptop/tablets/phones/etc)... and that isn't taking much time at all.
